Call me what you wish, but you know why Billary is going to be president again in 2008?

Because of our current "conservative" president, who has got us back into UNESCO, sent our boys to die in Iraq to uphold UN resolutions, etc.

You know why alot of Republicans in the House and Senate are going to lose their seats? Look at the federal spending charts. Look at the national debt. Look at the size of the government. Look at inflation. Look at how everything bad has grown over the last 8 years. This is the product of conservatism???

I'll bet Billary can't wait to get their hands on all the new "toys:" "Homeland security," "No child Left Behind," "USAPATRIOTACT," etc.

It's the problem of Republicanism, not conservatism...Politicians love to use taxpayers dollars to buy votes.

I wouldn't call you anything but pessimistic. That's all.

I will take this under advisement and check back in on this subject after the '06 and '08 elections. BTW, I won't call you anything specific if you don't want. I just disagree strongly with your position. and find much of the pessimism regarding NAFTA to be misplaced and overwhelmingly unjustified. We have had an incredible run economically in this country.

Also, I want to quibble one sec with your tagline. I understand that nothing in life is free. I also understand that the best way to deal with that in a capitalistic society is to figure out how best to profit from it.

We now have a playing field that is "free from" going both directions, which is very important in protecting our economy in the long run. We would be at a tremendous disadvantage in the world if others were making these agreements while we cut ourselves out of the deals. That may have worked years ago, but it just isn't feasible any more.

I will reiterate what I have said all along: I will pit the American worker against workers in any country on the face of the planet. Free trade may be a little painful for the American worker initially, but in the long run, I believe we will all be better off and more, decent jobs will be created. I think it's been said before, and I will say it again: We must live in the world as it is, not as we wish it was.

Call me what you wish

I didn't call you anything.

And Democrats like you will be leading the way for her. Buzz off.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I agree. Both parties are big government and believers in the "new world order". They just have different paths to drag us there.
